Poetry

Dreamweaver
​by Kathryn Goldman
​ 
Tiny unpracticed fingers
pull meadow green,
tug sunrise yellow,
weave in childhood pink.
 
Untangling novice mistakes.
Finding the irregular flower.
Redirecting wandering rivers.
Backtracking to please.
 
Earning maternal smiles.
 
Trapped by a rainbow
of colors
she will never own.

​A native of San Francisco, Kathryn Goldman’s interest in poetry began when she was working in ICU as a registered nurse. She used this practice to process the variety of stressful scenarios experienced. Over the years, she has continued to experiment with different types of writing such as short stories and plays. As an avid traveler, Kathryn has become skilled at capturing photographs about the diversity she encounters. Three years ago, she began to combine her love of photography with her writing by using the images she captures as seeds for her poems. She continues to explore new ways to use these two art forms to share her experience with family and friends.
